Welcome to our new course on Gender and Science.

We are launching the course with the familar, but newly sparked, debate that concerns the under-representation of women in the scientifc enterprise. What is the role of the nature of the scientific subjects, the nature of the practitioners, and most importantly, the nature of the enterprise itself, in shaping a scientific practice and community? What do feminist scholars have to say? What do some of the best observers of our society, (artists, film makers, novelists), have to say? And what do you have to say?

We are very much looking forward to the upcoming weeks of discussion.   Please see Professor Dalke's posting for specifics on our first set of readings.
